...So sayeth MobileExpert, who've admitted that it's not "fair to compare a 1-year old phone with a new one." Yet comparing two maker's ultimate gadgets is always helpful, both for consumers and the manufacturers themselves. It can provide a clear picture that will help future buyers make better decisions, and for companies to learn from their own or other's mistakes. Plus, it's great to see that Symbian has such heavyweights.

Personally, it's obvious that the Nokia N95 would win hands-down. Aside from being a year newer, it features S60 3rd Ed, an interface which is a lot more user-friendly than Sony-Ericsson's UIQ 3. But both phones have their faults, based on my first impressions with them. The N95's battery definitely needs improvement, and so does its price. While the P990 lacked the responsiveness one would expect from a high-end model.
